At this moment, Wang Yi was shocked to discover that Feng You's gaze was as calm as could be, resembling an ordinary person who could not cultivate, stirring not a ripple. If the previous Feng You had naturally exuded an overwhelming aura through his eyes and presence, the current Feng You was indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
However, Wang Yi would not be foolish enough to think that Feng You had become an ordinary person; rather, Feng You had already broken through to the Void-Phase Late Stage, effortlessly controlling the Primordial Energy within him without leaking a single trace. This was the terrifying aspect of a Void-Phase Late Stage expert.
"Void-Phase Late Stage, I have been waiting for this for a long time," Feng You said lightly as he looked at Wang Yi.
"Congratulations, senior," Wang Yi replied respectfully.
"Mm," Feng You nodded. With a wave of his sleeve, Wang Yi immediately felt his ability to move restored. His face brightened with joy, and he quickly composed himself, cupping his hands and saying, "Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Void-Phase Late Stage, with this, there may be no rivals for you in Yuan Continent."
"Child, stop flattering me. I know what you are thinking; you just want me to release you immediately," Feng You said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi's expression turned bitter.
"Child, do not be anxious. I have a fortuitous opportunity to bestow upon you," Feng You said, revealing a benevolent expression.
Wang Yi remained silent; he did not believe that such good fortune existed in this world. He also knew that someone like Feng You was not a kind-hearted person; it would not be an exaggeration to say he could kill without blinking.
"Do you know about the Void Palace?" Feng You asked Wang Yi slowly.
"The younger generation does not know," Wang Yi replied.
"The Void Palace is a palace that existed during the Ancient times, before the Human-Demon War. It is said that this palace is boundless and is where the Gods reside," Feng You explained unhurriedly.
"Divine Palace?" Wang Yi's expression changed; this was the second time he had heard of such divine beings. Suddenly recalling Emperor Diao Luo's words, Wang Yi's heart sank. After calming himself down, he asked calmly, "Senior, does such a world truly have gods?"
"Gods? Yes," Feng You replied after a moment of surprise. He nodded and said, "Child, they are gods; in fact, they are just a group of cultivators stronger than us with longer lifespans. You must understand that anyone in this world can become a god."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi fell silent again. However, his heart was filled with more questions about his rebirth in Yuan Continent. Perhaps it confirmed that his arrival was not coincidental but rather part of a meticulously arranged scheme. Maybe there was a god who had been watching over him all along.
And he was merely a pawn of this god; simply put, it was this being who brought him to Yuan Continent.
"Pearl." At this moment, Wang Yi suddenly recalled the Mysterious Pearl within him. Perhaps the key to the problem lay within this pearl. Although Wang Yi knew this, he had no way to answer it. The only way to understand it was to continuously strengthen his own power.
"The legendary Divine Palace has appeared," said Feng You.
"But what does it have to do with me?" Wang Yi asked.
"Child, are you not moved?" Feng You said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, asking casually.
"Moved? Without strength, being moved by anything only leads to death, especially following someone like you," Wang Yi replied disdainfully.
"That is reasonable; you have a good awareness. But do you know that any treasure is given to those with fate? And you are fortunate to know this news. Do you really want to let it slip away?" Feng You said leisurely.
"Please speak plainly, senior," Wang Yi asked straightforwardly.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't keep you guessing," Feng You waved his sleeve and paused for a moment before saying, "There is a great hall in the Void Palace that can only be entered by those with a Fire Spirit Body." After finishing, he looked at Wang Yi and said, "I believe you should know that during the Ancient times, the Fire Spirit Body was already a legendary existence. For over ten thousand years, no Fire Spirit Body has emerged, so..."
"So you want me to take you in?" Wang Yi asked with a cold smile.
"No, not just me; there are others as well," Feng You shook his head and continued, "This Void Palace opens once every hundred years and has attracted many people's attention. They are all trying to find ways to enter and seize treasures and opportunities."
"What benefit is there for me?" Wang Yi asked indifferently.
"Hehe, do you dare to bargain with me? Aren't you afraid I might kill you?" Feng You spoke calmly, but his eyes revealed an unmistakable killing intent.
"If you truly wanted to kill me, would you have kept me alive until now? I think you've already calculated everything from the beginning," Wang Yi smiled and appeared unconcerned.
"Good, it seems I did not misjudge you," Feng You said, his gaze softening as he regained his calm demeanor. "I know there is a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Spring in this Void Palace. If you cleanse your body in this spring, you will surely break through to the Initial Stage of Insight."
"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Spring?" Wang Yi was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, his pupils contracting slightly in surprise. It is known that the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Spring is formed from Earth Spirit Energy, which takes ten thousand years to generate. One can imagine how precious this spirit spring is.
"That's right; are you moved now?" Feng You smiled and said. "Not only that, but there are other treasures in the Void Palace. Whether or not you can obtain them depends on your capabilities."
"I want Fire Essence, a large amount of Fire Essence," Wang Yi stated calmly.
“Fire Essence?” Feng You paused for a moment, casting a strange glance at Wang Yi, and asked, “Child, what do you need Fire Essence for?”
“If the senior cannot provide the Fire Essence I need, I would rather die than enter this Void Palace,” Wang Yi replied with a determined expression, his voice firm as he gazed intently at Feng You. He knew that this journey into the Void Palace would be extremely dangerous, and if he could awaken the Fire Spirit, his chances of coming out alive would significantly increase.
Moreover, he was certain that within the palace of the Void Palace, there was something of great importance to Feng You, something that a strong practitioner at the Void-Phase Late Stage would covet. The temptation was unimaginable.
“Alright.” Feng You stared at Wang Yi for a while before coldly responding. With a wave of his hand, dozens of fist-sized, flame-like stones slowly floated down to Wang Yi's feet. “Is this enough?”
“This is Fire Essence?” Wang Yi looked at the fiery stones beneath him in surprise. It should be noted that Fire Essence is even more precious than regular Fire Essence, containing boundless Fire Elemental Power, and is more refined and concentrated.
“Correct, this is indeed Fire Essence,” Feng You nodded.
“Not enough.” Wang Yi withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
“Not enough?” Feng You was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Wang Yi and said coldly, “Child, can you see clearly? This is Fire Essence, and there are thirty pieces of it. Are you telling me it's not enough?”
“I said it's not enough,” Wang Yi replied coldly as well.
At that moment, the entire Stone Chamber fell silent; the air seemed to stagnate, enveloped in complete stillness.
“Child, I will trust you this once, but let me tell you, if you cannot help me enter the main hall of the Void Palace, regardless of whether you are from the Wang Family, you will remain here,” Feng You said with icy eyes.
“Rest assured, I would never joke with my own life,” Wang Yi replied calmly.
“Wait here for a few days,” Feng You finished speaking and vanished like a shadow.
“Remember, I need a large amount of Fire Essence,” Wang Yi said softly. He knew that with Feng You's current strength, it would be very easy for him to hear what he said.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Wang Yi collected the thirty pieces of Fire Essence and sat cross-legged on the Cushion.
Afterward, he placed all the Fire Essence around him.
"Refine." Wang Yi's gaze was sharp, and then he closed his eyes, softly uttering a word.
In an instant, more than thirty Fire Essences emitted a popping sound, transforming into a stream of red essence, Primordial Energy, which was absorbed by Wang Yi. Under the operation of his mind, it merged into the weak soul of the Fire Spirit.
Before long, all the energy from the Fire Essences was absorbed by the Fire Spirit.
"Ha."
A faint sound suddenly echoed in Wang Yi's Sea of Consciousness, and soon he saw a flicker of extremely weak light rising from the soul fire of the Fire Spirit.
This flicker of light was very weak, like a dying candle in the wind, at any moment it could extinguish.
"Great! The old man is going to wake up," the spirit said excitedly.
"Really? Grandpa is going to wake up?" Jiuyang exclaimed joyfully.
"No, it's still not enough," Wang Yi shook his head. It seemed his prediction was correct; this time, the Fire Spirit had nearly exhausted all its Soul Power to save him. Without a massive amount of Fire Elemental Power, it couldn't awaken.
"Damn it, boss! We must avenge the old man," Spiritual Energy said angrily.
"Brother is right; we must take revenge," Jiuyang also said furiously.
"It seems we can only wait for Feng You, this Old Ghost, to return. I hope he doesn't let me down," Wang Yi opened his eyes, radiating brilliance, and murmured.
Then, Wang Yi closed his eyes again and began to refine the Primordial Energy within him. Although he couldn't break through to the Transcendent Realm, he could further refine the Primordial Energy.
At this moment, he couldn't afford to waste a single moment.
Time slowly passed; it was unclear how much had gone by.
At this time, a streak of flowing light silently entered the Stone Chamber. It was a burly figure with broad shoulders and thick eyebrows, possessing bright eyes—the White-Bearded Elder. He glanced indifferently at Wang Yi, who was immersed in cultivation. A hint of unusual color flashed in his eyes as he waved his large sleeve, and a flame-like radiance flickered forth.
With a series of cracking sounds, chunks of fist-sized, bright red stones appeared in front of Wang Yi.
Before long, the fiery red stones had piled up into a mountain, totaling several hundred pieces.
"Is this enough?" Feng You turned around, standing with his hands behind his back, and said calmly.
"Thank you, senior." Wang Yi opened his eyes, looking at the Fire Essence before him, his heart brightened, and he hurriedly bowed.
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. Remember my words: if you cannot assist me, your life may stop beating at any moment," Feng You said with a calm and indifferent expression.
"I understand, senior." Wang Yi smiled lightly and said, "In that case, please be patient for a while longer. I will refine these Fire Essences before leaving. Does that sound good?"
"Mm." Feng You nodded indifferently and said, "I have already discussed with a few friends; we will set off in seven days."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yi did not dare to hesitate and quickly entered a meditative state again.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
As Wang Yi focused his mind and exerted his mental power, a large amount of Fire Essence transformed into strands of rich and pure Primordial Energy, merging into his body. At this moment, Feng You also looked at him with curiosity. It was known that these Fire Essences numbered over three hundred; even one piece was enough to cause a Transcendent Realm Expert to explode. The danger was unimaginable.
